      Audience Member Excruciatingly bad Omen/Exorcist/Rosemary's Baby clone, very badly directed by Peter Sasdy and stuffed with career-worst performances by Joan Collins, Eileen Atkins and (particularly) Ralph Bates as an oleaginous Italian married to Collins, whose inability to park a car is featured several times. Donald Pleasence cashes his cheque shamelessly. Diabolical in every sense. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Embarrassing "Rosemary's Baby" and "Exorcist" rip off that is so bad I actually questioned myself at a few points if the film was intentional camp. Joan Collins plays a new mother, but her baby is possessed by an evil spirit because of a dwarf whom she had wronged in the past had cursed the child. I suppose that was a Rumpelstiltskin sort of thing. Luckily for Collins her sister, Eileen Atkins, is a nun and takes on the exorcism duties. Ralph Bates, Donald Pleasence, and Caroline Munro are also along for this embarrassing ride. The film went through several that beside "The Devil Within Her" included "Sharon's Baby," "I Don't Want to Be Born," and "The Monster." This film is only worth watching as an example of bad cinema or for ironic enjoyment. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Made me laugh.. loved to watch it to see how bad it is. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The cheesier the better. 70's giving me another quirky little film to add to my collection. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Okay, strap in for this one, because it gets pretty silly/hectic as things go along... Joan Collins is a stripper who ignores the affections of a dwarf (never a good thing to do) and finds herself cursed by him, so when she and her new hubby have a child, the baby is a puzzlingly violent creature that attacks everyone who gets near it, making mom's life an especially hellish experience. She eventually turns to her nun sister for help, but it may already be too late... Silly fun from the '70s, and the alternate title of 'Sharon's Baby' is especially puzzling, as there's no one in the film named Sharon?!? Rental. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Blame the Exorcist for so many ripoffs in the mid 70's from Italian shlock Beyond the Door, to blaxploitation with Abby and this goofy British horror, Devil Within Her. Before she became an 80's TV icon playing Alexis on Dynasty, Joan Collins was starring in a string of forgettable B movies like Empire of the Ants and this movie did her no huge favors. This storyline something out of a classic Saturday Night Live skit that would have featured Gilda Radner. Collins, a former exotic dancer-turns down the advances of a dwarf, the dwarf places a curse on her if she has a child it will be born as the Son of Satan. The only one who believes Collins is her sister-in-law, a nun(how convienant, played by acclaimed actress Eileen Atkins.) There is so many problems with this film: It's boring, badly written and directed (too many scenes of people driving around London.) It ends badly for all-especially for the viewers.

      Alix Turner Horror Obsessive Fun and over-the-top story masquerading as drama. Rated: 3/5 Dec 11, 2021 Full Review Brian Juergens CampBlood.org Stock your bar and put in your IUD, because this hilariously over-the-top Rosemary's Baby knockoff wants to get you pregnant with its ridiculous brilliance.
